" Today, intelligence has increased but educational standards have declined. Wherever you look the students refer to newspapers and magazines from abroad. However, they do not evince the same interest in their textbooks. They do not think at all about their own customs and traditions. Students in this modern age are accustomed to such false sense of values. They would like to engage themselves in discussion about many unnecessary things. For example, they discuss novels, making comments like "so and so author has written a book; how great it is!" They involve themselves in discussions and argumentation over such trivial matters. But they forget about their lessons in the textbooks. Thus, they go on acquiring knowledge about all and sundry and try to increase their worldly knowledge. They do not have any concern for the glory of real education."
The above is a quote, jk read of Sai Baba.
